Abstract

The density of filled electronic states of noble metals (Au, Ag, Cu) below the Fermi level is studied by low-energy electron backscattering spectroscopy (0–10 eV) by using a specially designed hypocycloidal electron spectrometer capable of high energy (≤50 meV) and angular (∼1°–5°) resolution. The features observed in the electron scattering spectra are established to agree well with the extrema of the theoretically calculated density-of-states distributions. The results obtained amplify substantially the information provided by UV and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
